LU needs to be the first FCS team(maybe there is another FCS that has) to go this route? What do you say?

No, please God, no. I would much prefer it if we were super competitive and kept the same helmet, forever. Just stick an L & U on a white, blue or red helmet and let's go win. I hate that schools are embracing so many different uniform designs. Just a personal preference.

Love these new helmet designs. If I win the lottery tonight, I will buy us a few different types, maybe a different design for each home game. :)

As long as LU never wears anything that looks like the UMD state flag helmet, it's all good.

I am actually surprised that it has taken this long for the technology to be implemented on helmets. Frankly, I am a fan. I saw the new Baylor lids the other day and they are tight.

Love the new helmets, only other thing I'd like to see would be ones with a matte finish

Other than the fonts (and why do they have two different fonts??), I like the ODU helmets.

Cooper Stencil and... ? Perhaps it's their own typeface? "Aim High" is reminiscent of Air Force... but not with an ARMY font. :D

Aim High has an illicit drug connotation doesn't it? Plus the numbers look like the ones they had from Rollerball. I do like the ODU logo/state of VA thing though.
